Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Monticchiello, Monticchiello, Pienza, Tuscany

Your Tuscany day trip starts early so you can make the most of your time. Board an air-conditioned minibus in central Rome that will whisk you away from the busy city straight into the heart of Tuscany. Your first stop is at Monticchiello, a stunning little hillside town that makes for a once-in-a-lifetime photo op.

Duration: 3 hours 15 minutes

Stop At: Pienza, Pienza, Tuscany

It's a short drive to your next stop: Pienza. Your expert tour guide will lead you on an introductory stroll of the town, which is famous for its Pecorino cheese (and yes, you'll get to try some for yourself!).

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Montepulciano, Montepulciano, Tuscany

Sit back and relax on a scenic drive to Montepulciano, home to your next stop: a stunning family-run winery complete with lush vineyards and a historic cellar you have to see to believe. Enjoy a guided visit of both and sit down to a homemade lunch with wine pairings for an only-in-Tuscany experience you won't soon forget. After lunch, you'll have some free time to explore the charming streets of Montepulciano at your own pace.

Duration: 3 hours 45 minutes

Stop At: Tempio di San Biagio, Via di San Biagio, 53045, Montepulciano Italy

Before returning to Rome, you'll make one additional stop at the historic San Biagio church just outside Montepulciano. Marvel at the breathtaking Italian Renaissance architecture as your guide points out all the fascinating details that are easy to miss without an expert eye.

Not an inexpensive tour, but a wonderful, long day to get to see all you could in Tuscany. We were so fortunate to get a great guide, the stops & tastings were terrific.

We loved our day trip to Tuscany. We had a great guide. Eileen shared great information about the region and its history. We spent the right amount in each location. We stayed in Pienza long enough to explore the town, take some amazing photos, pick up a few souvenirs, have an espresso in an adorable cafe, and attend a cheese tasting. Next, we went to a farm for a delicious homemade lunch. The family was very welcoming and shared lots of information about their farm and lifestyle. We enjoyed the scenic stop at the fort in Montalcino, we snapped some great photos. We also visited a winery and tasted brunello di Montalcino wines. We purchased a bottle of wine and olive oil to enjoy later. All in all, it was a wonderful day that we won’t forget! It was really nice to step away from the hustle and bustle of Rome for a day. We’re glad we took this tour!

Tour guide Eileen was simply the best, her love and passion of the area along with her friendly and welcoming personality made the day amazing.

The places we visited were very good but the transportation was horrible! The bus seats were tiny with little leg room and the driver refused to keep the air conditioning on. He rolled down his window while we were in a stuffy hot bus. He was asked repeatedly to put on the AC but refused. The guide - Paris - was no help at all. Her fake Italian accent when speaking English was annoying. She is from Massachusetts!
